Hello. This morning I suddenly got an error message.

Last night it was fine. I tried connecting to another server, and also to update Fetch and got the same message for all. Tried dumping preference file, same error. I can get in to ftp using a web interface, but every server I try to connect to using Fetch doesn't work. Help?

The following is my transcript file. Thank you!
